Ken Hom Excellence 36cm Natural Patina Non-Stick Seasoning Wok for Stir Fry | Carbon Steel, Induction Hob Compatible, Beech Handle, Hanging Hole, High Heat Frying and Fast Cooking Chinese Pan

They say to scrub it with a scourer, I did (we have an induction hob) I got my wife to take it to work to season it (she's a chef) and despite this on first us it still left a faint mark on the hob, this was removed quickly using Cif, I love it, first time using I stir fried peppers and mushrooms adapting a Ken Hom recipe, I was extremely pleased with it, it reacts perfectly to heat adjustment and inspires confidence

I thought this was a good wok but I haven't even used it to cook. I have used it to mix a large amount of pasta and sauce. Like a large mixing bowl. After only 4 uses it has rusted from being washed each time after use. I didn't not leave it to dry while wet, I dried it off directly after every wash and yet it has still rusted. Terrible waste of money

This is a brilliant value wok big enough to cook family meals, and has a nice sturdy weight to it. As it is Carbon Steel, treat it kindly. Blue it, and and season every now and then. Do not leave it in water, and heat it through after washing. If you take care of it, this work should last years.

Good size wok and well made. Read instructions & watch YouTube videos on how to prepare and maintain woks. I look after it and clean the proper way so it's lasting well.

Shocked at the reviews clearly a lack of education regarding woks. This wok is amazing you just read the instructions on the inside cover wash the wok (don't leave any carbon steel pan/wok in water for more than 5mins when cleaning off pan coating) then baste the wok with cooking oil put it on how heat until it browns then take it off that it cool wipe oil of with kitchen roll repeat 3x until it's darkened like a burnt look. When you want to clean your wok wash it but don't seep it in water then after washing just heat it up again and dry with kitchen roll. This is how you use and look after a wok.

This must be the worst pan I’ve ever used. I wish I can return it after I used it once and will explore this. I also wished I trusted the few negative reviews here. I read a lot and decided to give it a go due to its brand. I followed the instructions to the dot and started cooking a simple dish. Not only it stuck but it discoloured so badly and now after I washed it it still smells like a swamp. I now decided to leave it soaking in water only but I don’t keep hope I’ll be able to cook in it again. I am going back to the trusted normal stainless steel which never turns this nasty colour. This should be banned from selling or whatever coating they used must be banned as it is not safe and if the seller says I hadn’t removed the coating before first use- it cannot be removed. I spent over 30 min scrubbing as I could see something still not right. I used it twice and I’m never using it again as I believe the material is not safe to use.

Don't believe the negative reviews this is a great wok at a great price. Al the complaints about it rusting are just people not following the instructions. All you need to do is season the wok correctly (there are plenty of videos online showing you how to do this but I followed school of woks) then after washing make sure you fully dry it by heating it on the hob.

Followed the preparation instructions before use. Cooked a stir fry, the inside ‘blued’ washed and dried it then it proceeded to rust. Gave it to my son to make metal artwork. Bought another make subsequently. Very disappointed.
